+# Chad/CAR/Congo/Gabon 1926 AEF decree: instrument found, article written
+
+- Duvall, The African Roots of Marijuana (2019), ch. 9 "Buying and Banning":
+ read the Central Africa passage (pp. 198-200) plus notes 135-137 and ch. 9
+ note 23 in a downloaded PDF copy. The instrument is the "Rapport et Décret

+ Polity paper ("Drug laws, bioprospecting..."), whose full text is walled
+ (academia.edu 403, Scribd shell only, DeepDyve paywalled).
+- Context read: 1916/1918 colonial drug laws weak because magistrates could
+ not tell haschisch from diamba (1918 closed the "natives" loophole); 1907
+ French Congo governor circular ordering the still-legal plant stamped out
+ (Bulletin Officiel Administratif, March 1907, pp. 161-62); Gabon
+ depopulation claim.
+- Updated all four federation entries (td/cf/cg/ga) to date 1926-08-29 with
+ the decree description + Duvall source; before scores untouched (first
+ bans); chains td/cf/cg/ga 0 flagged.
+- Wrote `articles/chad-french-equatorial-africa-1926.md` (~360 words):

+ as follow-ups, not written.
